Revisit

A soft off-white sweater, worn-in jeans and brown boots have been part of my autumn/winter uniform for many years. Back in the day, I never imagined that I would start a fashion blog; that my level of comfort would increase and I would be too busy wearing shine, leopard overload and pleated pants to have time for my old cold weather favourite. But then I saw this perfect slouchy sweater for $25 at the French Connection warehouse sale* and I knew that I needed to revisit the look. This is the fashion blog updated look... the sweater is puddley and the boots are strappy and the purse is fuzzy. And I felt so warm and wonderful that I wore it Friday night and again on Saturday. The sweater might be my most perfect 'soft, off-white sweater' yet... I'm pathetically torn between wanting to wear it everyday and only bringing it out for very special occasions. Haven't decided yet what to do yet... this blog could very well become My Edit on Rewearing a Sweater...either way, air hugs only when I'm wearing this puppy. If I see a make-up stain...somebody gonna get hurt...real bad.

I'm an easy laugh...corn husk eyebrows...

*For those who asked about the French Connection warehouse sale... it was in the warehouse section at The Ex, behind the madness of people clamouring for $5 stretchy jeans from UB. Past that chaos was a much quieter, fantastic French Connection area. It was good...

Your thrifted items are beautiful! Purse. Gah! the Boots...amazing. But where on earth are there thrift stores with such things? If I were to venture out to "thrift" in my urban town of 1 million, I'd find myself in Goodwill. No kidding.

I say go for wearing it every day. And I think I need a warm, cuddly, oversized sweater now. Just as I was beginning to think that I have everything I need for fall... You are no good for my wallet. :)

Wow I love this sweater too! I have one that I bought at a thrift store last year and it haunts me everyday saying, "Wear me today!" I think we should do a remix of sweater week! People would give us strange looks but I wouldn't care because I would be sooooo comfortable!

I'm jealous that you can wear chunky sweaters right now -- I love how comfortable and chic this outfit looks. I also love the cornfield, and may need to visit the farm park soon to run around in it...:)

Nice! I came to comment and see Linda did for me! lol. Give a girl a password to change your header and she becomes you! Were you slightly alarmed when it looked like I wrote that I need to see you again? Turns out all those creeper jokes about me hiding outside your window at night were real hahaha. (awkward silence) Nice brow(s) is that in again? I can never keep up

Whoops....I'm a loser.It was me that said this Yen..."Well you've gone and done it missy, you have made a big ol sweater look so freaken sexy. Seriously, I am actually bothered by it, is it hot in here? We should do something again sometime, I miss you like a fat kid misses dinner because he ate too much lunch...now I'm not assuming that only boys are fat kids, but I feel like in this case its a fat boy."

Yikes, Lesley I'm not trying to steal your identity, although I should cause you are all kinds of hot...

The purse?To die....The haphazard way you're wearing the boots?I swoon...That fuzzy, amazing sweater?I would curl into the fetal position under that thing and never come out again.

This is what I love about you ~ You can pull off slouchy,carefree casualness with as much success as you can rock sexy sequins, little dresses and any other "dressed up" looks you wear.True chic ~ that's you!
